This active procurement, classified under the CPV code 85000000 for health and social work services, follows an open procedure above the threshold to invite new applicants. The procurement is currently at the tender stage and features a significant contract value of £168,000,000.

Interested parties must submit their tenders by 5th December 2025, with services set to commence from 1st March 2026 and run until 31st March 2027.

This tender offers substantial business opportunities for providers of health and social work services, particularly those capable of handling complex residential frameworks for adults with disabilities.

The expansive framework not only enables expansion into various UK territories but also encourages international participation, offering a chance for organisations to showcase their capabilities on a significant platform managed by a reputable local governing authority. Companies equipped to provide comprehensive services in line with the specified requirements stand to gain from both the financial value and the extended contract duration.
